The winter of 1856-7 was a harsh one. The weather had been mild through mid-December, but on December 17 the temperatures across New England dropped well below zero. Over the next few months the region with hit with dozens of snow storms. But that didn't stop people from having a little fun! Happy first snow, Philly!
